Heya,
I'm interested in running integration tests that require a (small)
distributed cluster via the regular jenkins build. Any advice on how to go
about doing thing? Launch the jobs via maven doesn't produce a realistic
runtime, so this would be launching jobs with a bash script and validating
the exit code. It will probably involve deploying and tearing down a
pseudo-distributed cluster too.
I'm also thinking of changing the IntegrationTests category, breaking it
into {Small,Large}IntegrationTests. Small are tests that require a
distributed cluster to run but don't require lots of nodes or process huge
amounts of data. Think 10-20 minutes to run on a single pseudo-distributed
deployment. Large would be the catch-all bucket for everything else.
This would also give us a harness from which we can automate the RC build
validation.
What do you guys think?
